Turtle Juice

We love these shakes {aka Green Monster}! The kids call it turtle juice because it's green and it makes them strong like the teenage mutant ninja turtles. :) I get to hide stuff in there and they'll drink it! There are so many recipes out there for them, but here is our little twist:

1/2 - 3/4 c. Nectar - {I find it tastes sweeter and better if you can use nectar instead of juice}
Big handful of baby spinach leaves
Choose your own combination of Fruit - strawberries, pears, apples {skins still on}, banana, oranges, blueberries, raspberries
1/3 c. Yogurt {I use Greek Yogurt, tons of protein and it makes it creamier}
1 - 2 tsp. Flax seed {opt}
Ice

Blend until smooth. Yummy breakfast complete with a side of whole wheat toast and honey!

On my ambitious days, I'll get a bunch of fruit and spinach and divide it into several individual servings in baggies to freeze. Then it's a quick grab, add the nectar and yogurt, and you're good to go!

cheers!

Complete breakfast with homemade whole wheat bread and honey butter. Delish!
